My first day on the ship, there was a funeral held for a crewmember, who had gone swimming on the island in the wrong spot and broke his neck.
The following week, another crewmember tried to commit suicide (by taking Tylenol and cough syrup - but hey! the effort was there.
Yesterday while I'm eating breakfast we hear over the intercom "Code Oscar!" a crew member hurled himself off the ship into the ocean! Then we hear Capt. Buz holler into the intercom, "Will the Safety Officer please report to the scene! Uh... the Safety Officer was already at the scene, he caused the scene! YIKES!!
I wonder how Capt. Buz feels about having 3 episodes within 3 weeks on his watch. I think he's afraid of people asking him about yesterday's incident. I saw him in the hall this a.m., he did an abrupt about face, so I bellowed any way, "Good Morning, Capt.!" He mumbled a reply, but he was high tailin' it down the hallway!

Hey, look on the bright side. The more people who jump ship, the quicker you get promoted!
ReplyDeleteMaybe you could post a sign-up sheet in the crew mess.
ReplyDeleteDo they have a "CODE LISA" yet? Are we taking bets on how soon that'll be?
